Talisman Emperor
Chapter 1586 – Coincidence
A year of closed door cultivation allowed Chen Xi's wounds to finally recover to a great extent, and he was only a trail away from recovering to his peak state.
Not only that, he even felt that after he experienced the turmoil between life and death, his strength would definitely increase once again when he fully recovered!
As said, it was impossible to build before destroying. The understanding gained through the forging of life and death had always been superior in promoting the transformation of one's strength when compared to the cultivation of closed doors.
Until now, the only thing that Chen Xi regretted was that the little lady, A'Liang, was still unable to wake up from her unconscious state.
Aiang's vital signs were very special. It shrunk into a sphere covered by a strand of jade green divine light. He was like a butterfly protected by a silkworm, and he seemed to have lost all senses to the outside world.
Fortunately, Chen Xi was able to sense that with the passage of time, A’Liang's vital energy gradually began to stabilize from his weakened condition.
It's time to go…. Chen Xi took a deep breath, and a wisp of cold arch could not help but appear at the corner of her mouth when she sensed Zhu Dongting and Moli Chou following her from afar. After which, he walked gradually towards the entrance of the Jade Drop Paradise.
The streets of Voidsky City were as crowded as ever, and the flow of people crowded on it. Chen Xi moved along the road and seemed to be walking aimlessly past him.
Along the way, he sometimes stood still and observed the bustling shops around him, he sped up occasionally, and he even bought some nice and small items from some stalls occasionally. He was like a tourist, and it seemed like he was completely unaware that he was being chased with the intention to kill.
“That jerk! Could it be that he intends to take us around in circles within the city? "Zhu Dongting gritted his teeth from behind, and he felt like a cow being guided by the nose by Chen Xi. The more relaxed Chen Xi was, the more Zhu Dongting felt sad and angry in his heart.
"Young Master, calm down. There are many people here, and it is not advisable to act immediately. Once this child is alone, it will be the moment of his death. ”Moli Chou seems to be very patient, and he is like an experienced hunter when he speaks in a way that is neither fast nor slow.
“According to my plan, we can directly move. Why do we have to go into so much trouble? "Zhu Dongting frowned, and he really did not want to continue wasting time.
"In that way, it will probably cause a great panic, and it will be easy for the child to take the opportunity afforded to him by the confusing environment and escape us …." Moli Chou spoke, and then her eyes suddenly lit up up. "Young Master, look! The boy is heading out of town! ”
"Oh?" Zhu Dongting's spirits were instantly refreshed. "It seems like this kid is aware that he cannot escape our pursuit, and he intends to fight desperately against us. It couldn't have been better. Let's hurry after him! "
…
When he was 50m away from the city gate, Chen Xi's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, and he turned around imperceptibly to move towards another road.
Hm? Just when Chen Xi's figure had just disappeared, the fiery red figure at the city gate of the far distance seemed to have seen something, and he quickly turned around while his lake-like clear eyes surged with terrifying strands of divine light as they swept across the sky and earth.
In an instant, the scenes in the entirety of Voidsky City were reflected down to the smallest detail within his ind. Streets, pedestrians, buildings, voices, auras, movements…. Everything cannot escape from his common sense.
But in the end, it came back empty-handed.
Could it be that the little boy was not in Voidsky City? Or maybe he escaped without a sound in a year like this? This red-clothed woman was naturally a disciple of the Sovereign Sect, Ye Yang. A formidable existence that possessed the outward appearance of a beautiful girl was unmatched, yet actually possessed a power that had reached the Enlightened Ancestral God Realm.
At this moment, her beautiful brows united while she lightly bit her red and moist lips. He seemed to be in deep thought, and the beauty he revealed inadvertently caused the hearts of all the Violethell Divine Sect disciples in the surroundings to palpitate while their mouths felt dry.
“Eh, isn't that Senior Brother Zhu?” Suddenly, a disciple spoke as he looked at Zhu Dongting and Moli Chou who were on a faraway road.
"It seems like Senior Brother Zhu is chasing someone." The other disciples also spoke in succession.
Ye Yan frowned, and he could not be bothered to raise his eyes and glance. From the day he started to rely on the Violethell Divine Sect's army to search for Chen Xi, Zhu Dongting constantly bothered him, he said, and if it wasn't for the consideration for the great figure of the Violethell Divine Set standing behind Zhu Dongting, he would have annihilated an extravagant disciple who had some wishful thinking about him.
If he turned around and glanced, then perhaps he would see something from the target that Zhu Dongting was pursuing. Unfortunately, out of disgust, he did not turn around, and he missed this opportunity.
…
That woman is really hard to handle! Chen Xi's expression was a little gloomy, and she was not worried that she would see through her disguise since she was using a Shapeless Skin.
However, Chen Xi did not dare to confirm whether he would be recognized or not when he appeared within his field of vision. So, he firmly turned around and chose a different direction.
Hm? Suddenly, Chen Xi stopped once more. He realized with surprise that two cloth-clothed young men were standing on a far corner of the street with blank expressions.
To his surprise, it was Mutou and Zai'zi. However, after a year, these two immature youths who had left the mountain for the first time were no longer filled with high spirits. Their faces were haggard, their eyes dim and absent-minded, and they had lost their anticipation of the future and their powerful and extraordinary aspirations. They looked like beggars wandering the streets.
"How are they reduced in such a way?" Chen Xi was stunned. He clearly remembered that when he said goodbye to them a year ago, he said goodbye to them, he had given them some additional Divine Crystals inside the storage pouch and coupled with the compensation from selling those ferocious beast horns, it should be enough for them to stay in Voidsky City.
But obviously, some sort of accident must have happened to them during this year.
No matter what kind of accident it was, it caused Chen Xi to be unable to help but arouse guilt in her heart. Because if not for him, they might still be inside that simple and simple mountain village, and they would still have a will, hot blood, and the anticipation of the future that the youth have….
After which, the puzzled expressions in their eyes gradually disappeared, and their originally gloomy eyes gradually brightened.
That's senior!
The two young men looked at each other, and they secretly understood each other. The hardships they encountered this year have ground their immaturity, and it allows them to begin to understand how the world and human heart are filled with danger.
However, they still deeply believed in Chen Xi because it was precisely Chen Xi who brought them out of the mountains for the first time, bringing them to this ancient and prosperous city for the first time, he said, and allowed them to witness how strange and dazzling this world was for the first time.
So, they trusted Chen Xi, even if they had not seen her for a year.
This is what it means to be a young man. After experiencing difficulties, their hearts still had their own persistence and kindness.
The two of them did not hesitate to move swiftly side by side towards the city gate.
Just like other cities, Voidsky City has four city gates, and they are located in the north, south, east, and west respectively.
Ye Yang stayed at the eastern city gate while Zhu Dongting and Moli Chou followed him from the west. So, Chen Xi could only choose the northern or southern city gate.
Right now, he was approaching the city gate in the north, and he was moving north along the way without any more hesitation.
Because there was another trace of worry in Chen Xi's heart right now, and it was Mutou and Zai'zi. He felt a little guilty towards them, so he intended to give them a beautiful path towards Dao. It's the way he does things, and it never changes.
…
"If the boy changes direction once again and refuses to leave, then I won't continue the practice for patience!" Zhu Dongting's expression was extremely grim, and his chest was filled with soaring and blazing fireballs.
Previously, Chen Xi had suddenly changed direction, and it caused her originally excited mood to be completely shattered, and she was both angry and sad.
He was a dignified direct descendant of the Great Elder of the Violethell Sect, Zhu Gangshan, and his status was extremely high. Now, however, someone was toying with him while he could only exercise patiently like an annoyed wife, and it was obvious how angry he was.
"Don't worry Young Master. This time, even if you don't say anything, I will still kill him myself! "Moli Chou bit her teeth endlessly as well. This asshole just sucks. He often acted in a way that went against convention, and he was also despicable and shameless!
As they spoke, the two of them noticed that Chen Xi's figure did not turn around at this time and headed straight for the city gate.
This caused their eyes to instantly light up, and the suppressed killing intent in their hearts for a long time had gushed out like a volcano and surged throughout their bodies.
"Let's go!"
"This time, this Young Master will let you experience what true suffering feels like!"
…
"Hmm? Why did these two ants leave the city today? It's a little unusual. I must immediately report this to Senior Brother Yun Cheng! ”At the same time, a disciple from the Violethell Sword Sect rushed out of the way, and he looked from afar towards Mutou and Zai'zi who had just disappeared behind the city gate.
This disciple was precisely Brother Liao Young who caught Zai'zi and Mutou before finding traces of Chen Xi from within their memories.
Later, under Senior Brother Yun Cheng's instructions, he removed a portion of Mutou and Zai'zi's memories before placing it back in the city. At the same time, Mutou and Zai'zi were being watched closely from the shadows, and that was because they were hoping to get more clues about Chen Xi's whereabouts from these two young men.
Now, Mutou and Zai'zi's actions instantly caused Brother Liao's spirit to be refreshed. Because a year of exhausting time on two mature young men caused him to feel somewhat sad and helpless in his heart. Fortunately, it seemed like it was time to reap the benefits!
Swooshes! Swooshes!
However, before Brother Liao could act, two figures quickly flashed in his vision, and they instantly disappeared behind the city gates.
Although all of this was happening very quickly, Junior Brother Liao was still able to recognize their identity, and he could not help but be dumbstruck. “Senior Brother Zhu and Senior Moli Chou? Could they have noticed something was wrong? Then should I report this matter to Senior Brother Yun Cheng? ”
He was very clearly aware that Zhu Dongting craved success and achievement. If the latter knew that he was telling Yun Cheng about this matter, then Zhu Dongting would definitely make him suffer.
“What should I do?” Junior Brother Liao became hesitant, and he finally sighed and said, “It's okay, I'll wait for a while, and I'll report it to Senior Brother Yun Cheng after that. This period of time was enough for Senior Brother Zhu to achieve all the achievements and achievements. This way, he would naturally not blame me for telling Senior Brother Yun Cheng. ”
Unfortunately, Junior Brother Liao was not clearly aware that many things would happen during this period of time that he had delayed, and the outcome of this matter could actually be changed. But in the end, because of the amount of time he had delayed, the opportunity to change these things was also missed….
